The secret services would have opened fire On Sunday evening, three suspects attempted to break into an unmarked government vehicle parked outside the Georgetown home of Naomi Biden, the granddaughter of President Joe Biden. Reports allege that the three attackers fled the scene after the shooting began.
These types of scenarios are exactly why Americans are advocating for the Second Amendment, but unfortunately not all citizens enjoy the same protection as the Biden family.
Residents of Washington, D.C., are forced to navigate an avalanche of regulations and red tape before they can use firearms for their own self-preservation. According to DC Metropolitan Police Departmentresidents have the “power to carry one or more firearms” only in “certain places and for certain purposes.” Concealed Carry requires a variety of applications and training, while “open carry is prohibited.”
Meanwhile, crime in the District of Columbia is out of control. So far, violent crime is up nearly 40% in 2023 compared to 2022, according to preliminary data from DC. reports. Homicides and robberies increased by 32 and 68 percent, respectively, while motor vehicle thefts increased by almost 100 percent from last year. On Monday, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser declared the state of emergency in the face of the juvenile delinquency crisis.
Yet strict gun laws are especially common in high-crime areas, making the situation even more difficult. difficult so that citizens can protect themselves. And facing crawling crime, many law-abiding citizens find themselves defenseless against the directives of legislators and an executive branch that benefits from the protection of armed security services. The Criminal Justice Council reports that in 37 U.S. cities, violent crime has been on the rise since 2019, with “24% more homicides in the first half of 2023” compared to the first half of 2019, and “motor vehicle thefts more than doubled (+104%).”
Naomi Biden isn’t the only one getting special treatment when it comes to guns, however. His father, Hunter Biden, reportedly lied about his drug use on a federal form to purchase a revolver in 2018 — a bombshell the public didn’t learn about until months after his father was safely ensconced in the White House in 2021. Later, the Joe Biden’s DOJ hit a sweetheart plea deal with Hunter, who claimed that if Biden’s son pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges, he would receive broad immunity for other crimes, including no prosecution for his illegal possession of a firearm . Fortunately, that deal fell through thanks to a wise federal judge.
Then last month, Hunter Biden pleaded not guilty to three federal gun charges. And even though his lawyers argue that the underlying law is unconstitutional, even Policy acknowledges that this argument “stands in stark contrast to President Joe Biden’s advocacy for stricter gun laws.”
The double standard is clear: gun rights for the Biden family and their elite friends, not for everybody. As Biden said of the Second Amendment last year, it is “not absolute» – for you, at least.
The gun hierarchy is not unique to the Bidens. Policy And cultural elites have benefited from guns while pushing for anti-gun legislation. With the Bidens, others Democrat politicians are among the worst offenders. For example, the notorious anti-gun Lori Lightfoot, former mayor of Chicago, had her own armed security detail to protect her home and office. Michael Bloomberg, former New York mayor and Democratic presidential candidate, also required gun control while protected by armed guards. Both lived comfortably under the protection of guns while the citizens of their crime-ridden cities found themselves facing unmanageable gun regulations – and these politicians are just the tip of the iceberg.
This blatant hierarchy reveals the truth that Biden and other Democrats refuse to acknowledge: Guns can preserve life. And yet Biden claims a gun control It’s about “protecting children.” It’s about protecting families. It’s about protecting entire communities. » His family’s safety information is proof that guns are actually the best way to protect yourself and your loved ones.
